Not entirely true, and I suspect Cynthiune is not the only program missing in that list. Current status: I have an ALSA bundle ready (default for GNU/Linux; the OSS bundle remains default for GNU/kFreeBSD; Esound and arts are deprecated and only activated upon user's request) -- it is working well except the occasional crashes which happen for all threaded GNUstep apps. I was unable to track down this GNUstep bug, unfortunately, but I keep trying from time to time. I will not upload a new release with the ALSA bundle until it is fixed. One thing that puzzles me is that the wiki page says one should use libraries and not access /dev/dsp directly -- I wonder which are those libraries, precisely? (cynthiune.app uses the NSFileHandle asynchronous API to write to /dev/dsp, which seems to be the best approach.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
